KiN Reports
A meeting hosted by the official Evans' funeral committee was treated to a surprise when information of another paralell meeting reached the attendees. It came to the knowledge of the attendees that the father of Evans had organised another fundraising meeting on Saturday, 26th. February where several Kenyans, Tanzanians, Ethiopians and friends had been invited, attended and contributed cash.
The father had prepared the meeting that was hosted at LovisenbergDiakonale Hospital starting at 16:00 CET. Several people at that meeting wondered why Evans' mother was not at the meeting where the funds were to be raised for her deceased son. The common message that was dished out was that the mother was late due to the weather conditions then later the facts started pouring in with the father (Abdul) stating that the deceased's mother and her friends had actually planned another meeting for Sunday the 27th.
KiN has been updated on the facts and can report that the meeting held at Willy's Bar this evening attracted several people and a mix of Kenyans and friends from all walks. The attendees who had been to the earlier meeting organised by the father of Evans (Abdul) were requested by the committee to ask him of the whereabouts of the money they had contributed. It was further stated that there was only one official committee comprising of among others Njeri, Naomi and two others whose identities had not been availed to KiN at the time of going to press.

Naona aliyeandika kwenye Kenyans in Norways blog haelewi maana ya Kiswahili ya kwenda kwenye kilio/msiba na rambi rambi. Angeelewa angeandika tofauti kidogo na alivyooandika.
Kwenda kwenye kilio/msiba haina maana ya kuchangisha pesa tu.
Wengine hatukutoa pesa, lakini tumepika, tumetoa vinywaji na kadhalika.
Vitu kama hivi huwezi kuviweka kwenye thamani ya pesa taslimu!!!
AMA KWELI MWAMBA NGOMA HUVUTIA KWAKE!
Ni matumaini yangu kuwa kifo cha Evans kisilete utengano wa utaifa kwa watu wa Afrika Mashariki. Kwani inaonyesha kila mtu anavutia kwake kwenye msiba huu.
Tuwape pole wazazi, yaani Martha (mama kutoka Kenya) na Abdul (baba kutoka Tanzania) na Mwenyezi Mungu Amweke Evans Pema..Ameen!
